Japan Pilgrimage I Day 8 - Guest Blogged by 浪迹天涯小狗

Lost Dog

Rainy Morning. Kinda dampened our moods to wake up to a very cold morning only to find that it was raining outside.

But come what may, we still proceeded with our plans for Universal City!!


Oh! Here I am.

We took the JR Line to Nishikujo, changing to Universal City station. Ya, they have a station for their attractions.

Even before stepping into the actual Universal City itself, there's some shops lined outside with souvenirs and merchandises.


Elmo Ponchos


Streets of Universal City


Jaws


Jurassic Park


If the rain isnt enuff, this ride sure makes u wet.

We went for lunch at some make-your-own-burger restaurant. Well, its not really make your own burger, probably more like self-servicing your salads and sides only.


Halloween setups. This ghost is cute!

As most of the outdoor rides are closed due to the wet weather, all we did was to shop around (really bought a lot).


This was the only show we caught.


Live act vs animation. Woody Woodpecker!


Big Elmo and Small Elmo.

While we were shopping near the main entrance, the characters danced out of the stores for photo-taking!


Elmo


Cookie Monster


Bert


Ernie disturbing mistress by running in her direction.


Ernie talking to mini Cookie Monster


Popeye


Olive and Betty Boop gossiping

As they're constantly in motion, hyperactivity, its kinda hard to capture them alone and without blurs. Mistress took a photo each with Elmo and Ernie. In the photo with Ernie, he was hugging Mistress's striped scarf! SO cute!!

More shopping...


A lot, a lot, A LOT of Mini Elmos!


Elmo disguising as Oscar.

As we left the shop, there's another bunch of characters on the streets again.


Hello Kitty?


Eh?

The next action for that picture, Kitty came n hugged Mistress!! On her own accord~ hhehehhe. No pics for that thou, cos the other of the gang were pretty far away.


Pink Panther


Wizard of Oz




Count Dracula


Snoopy baos.


Water World


Props used in the set of WaterWorld.

Entrance.





So that concludes our Universal City trip. We went back Tennoji and had our dinner at Mio. There's a Muji shop in the building and so went to take a look, which ended us up with big paper bags full of cheap purchases. A notebook selling $2.60 in SG costs only 80 Yen (SGD 1) there.

This concludes my post for today. Falling asleep already. Must be the rain.

*Mistress, can I have a poncho or an umbrella pls? Or even a plastic bag will do. I'm soaking wet hanging on ur bag!!
